I have a console app, that creates a xml file, I need to escape the data
before dumping it in the xml file.

I would use Server.HTMLEncode if it was ASP.NET.

As an answer to the question "How can I HTMLEncode a string in a
non-ASP application", try adding a reference to System.Web, and use
(e.g.)

string encodedString =
System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("a&b");


I tried System.Xml.XmlConvert.EncodeName("a&b")

this gives me a_x0026_b I was exspecting a&amp;b

Maybe thios is ok. the xml file is a google sitemap, it need to be read by
google bot, will it read a_x0026_b as a&b I dont know.

any help, ideas?

A question that comes to mind is why you need to escape the data
yourself though - how is your console application creating the XML
file?
